Kuskowski, Alex. Line Up.

Daniel gets a fresh start in sports, but his past threatens his bright new future. Daniel finds a chance to latch onto a bright future through sports, but is plagued by past associations. When Tyrese forces him to bring a gun to the robbery of a liquor store, Daniel finally backs out -- regardless of the consequences.

Although very brief, this intense micro-novel packs an emotional punch with authentic situations, language and characters. High-low collections will find this volume flying off the shelf. Realistic Fiction Welliver, Hilary

Information on TriState Reviews

The Tri State Young Adult Review Committee has been in existence for more than 40 years. It has evolved over the decades into an organization comprised of dedicated professionals interested in evaluating new resources and sharing these findings with other professionals in the field. The committee is a fluid group that represents public schools, public libraries, and private schools in the Tri-State area of PA, DE, and NJ. You can see a list of our members and additional information on our website: www.tristatereviews.orgChairpersonLinda McNeil

Just a few words....

Classroom teachers and librarians will want to check out this blog to read about some books and media that our group receives throughout the year. As chairperson, I will be sharing tips, tools, and cool reads that are of interest currently. Tristatereviews prepares a Books of Note yearly. That list is extensive but not correlated to this blog. Please leave your comments about these books for others to read. Then check out our sister site (BookPushinTechie.blogspot.com) that covers technology in education.Linda McNeil, chairpersonBookPushinTechie@gmail.com
